The Book Nook has indulged its obsession with supposedly obsolete technologies by getting into vinyl records. Stearns and Greenwood have been selling vinyl since late 2014; they now have a small, but growing selection of new and used vinyl records. Book browsers can appreciate the sound of vinyl (or demonstrate to their young children how they listened to music growing up) from the compact turntable and speaker setup in the store.

To celebrate vinyl listening Stearns will kick off a series of Vinyl Listening Parties. Stearns will be using an Audio-Technica turntable and a Marshall speaker combo to listen to some records on the first Thursdays of the month (he occasionally does it during regular store hours too).  On the first Thursday of the month Stearns will pick a theme for the evening and spin records that fit that theme. Heck there might be some books that go along with the records too (book and record pairings, what a thought). Check out  thebooknookvt.com or our Facebook page or Twitter feed for the specifics closer to the date.  Stearns be happy to discuss turntables, records and anything related to vinyl records and music. Stearns will take a look vinyl for sale as well (but be forewarned the store will only buy a very small amount of used vinyl).

Please stop in the store and check out the summer fun activities at The Book Nook.
